Binh Thuan builds friendly, safe tourism environment

The central province of Binh Thuan is becoming an attractive tourist
attraction for domestic and international tourists, especially those
from Russia, China, Germany and the Republic of Korea.

This is attributed to the locality’s efforts to build a friendly and safe tourism environment.

In the first nine months of this year, Binh Thuan received over 2.5
million tourists, earning more than 3.6 trillion VND (196.2 million
USD).

This is the result of the province’s investment in
developing its tourism sector, regarding tourism as a key industry to
promote local socio-economic development.

The province has
spared no efforts to remove beggars and peddlers from key tourist
attractions, asking businesses and households that provide tourism
services to say no to raising prices irrationally.

In spite
of unfavourable transport facilities such as the lack of an airport and
seaport, Binh Thuan has seen a steady increase in the number of
international tourists since 2006.

In the coming time, the
province will contribute greatly to Vietnam’s target of a two percent
annual increase in the number of Russian tourists, hoping to receive
350,000 visitors from the country by 2015.-VNA
